Market View: RBI Money Policy
From a real estate perspective, 190bps of repo rate hike so far has already been transmitted into a 105bps of rise in the MCLR rates. The mortgage rates have increased in line with the MCLR and the cumulative growth in residential sales in the last six months have understandably begun showing some signs of slowing. The affordability of the home buyers has also reduced by 10% since the beginning of this interest rate hike cycle. Hence, a 30-35bps of repo rate hike by the RBI would be reasonable in this cycle to address inflation without impacting growth to a large extent. A comparatively lower impact on mortgage rates will also be helpful in supporting homebuyer demand as the year draws to a close.

Two trends stand out in the current economic scenario. The US economy continues to be strong as reflected by the jobs data, labour market conditions and ISM services. But these positive numbers are viewed by the market with concern since this strong scenario might persuade the Fed to continue to be hawkish. The Indian macros indicate steady improvement with buoyant tax collections, impressive credit growth and declining crude. Partly the market resilience in India comes from the retail optimism and DII investment. This is likely to continue despite the elevated valuations. Buy on dips strategy has worked well this year and investors can continue with the strategy.
